MD 0898 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR CENTRAL/EASTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI
Mesoscale Discussion 0898
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0730 PM CDT Tue Jun 26 2018
Areas affected...Central/Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 270030Z - 270230Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Storms have formed along an east/west surface boundary
stretching across central/eastern Kansas into western Missouri.
Hail/strong wind gusts are the main threats, but brief tornadoes are
possible.
DISCUSSION...The atmosphere has destabilized across portions of
Kansas/Missouri during the last few hours in the wake of a MCS.
Moderate-strong buoyancy (MLCAPE 1500-3000 J/kg) and shear
(effective bulk shear of 35-55 knots) indicate a conducive
environment for strong/severe storm development. Farther to the
west, the storms are most likely surface-based and interacting with
a remnant outflow boundary, which is where brief tornadoes are
possible across Butler/Elk/Greenwood counties. Severe hail/wind are
also possible with these storms as they slowly build/track to the
south/southeast. Storms should diminish after sunset. However, there
is a possibility of upscale organization that would let storms
continue through the evening. If this occurs, a watch may be needed.
